• Currently responsible for the production and maintenance of the Allen Institute’s 3D assets and environments, which are used in machine learning simulations.
• Established a full creation pipeline to implement new demo features, including physics, functional appliances, and procedural room generation, with an emphasis on flexibility for future changes.

Seattle, WA

• Designed and established the visual look and feel of multiple 3D virtual reality experiences. Responsibilities involved modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, scripting, and testing builds on the Microsoft HoloLens.
• Improved efficiency by establishing a standardized 3D asset workflow and documentation on how to implement new content into Xcode, our primary iOS development tool.

Bellevue

• Modeled and textured weapon assets for Destiny 2, with close adherence to the fantasy-realism aesthetic of the franchise.
• Collaborated with multiple teams, including world and character artists, to maintain a fully consistent design and tone.

Seattle, WA

• Participated in the artistic development of VR / AR demo experiences on the Microsoft HoloLens and HTC Vive, as well as the modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation of 3D assets.
• All demos were subject to heavy iteration with the design strategy of VR in mind, creating a strong understanding of the best concepts and techniques for VR-space.

Redmond, WA

• Created characters, levels, texture packs, promotional art, and E3 demos, as part of the fast-paced Minecraft art team.

Bothell, WA

• Modeled the interiors of 3D buildings in Google Maps, following comprehensive guidelines.
